COLONIAL GLISSON’S
PRE- 1730 IN THE US

By Phillip L. Glisson

The purpose of this page is to list as many Glisson as
possible that are in the Colonial records:Most Glisson genealogist just assumed that all Glisson’s
in America were descendants of Francis & Elizabeth Glisson.The following is to show that there were
other Glisson in the Colonial records.Also many other Glisson immigrants came to America in 1750, 1800’s etc.
that would be ancestors of Glisson in America today.My own line goes through Thomas Glisson
listed below and I am not sure which of the below if any that he may be
descendant of.If anyone has records of
any Glisson before 1730 please send them to me so I can add them to this
list.Henry Glisson listed 1652 and 1678
may be a better candidate for the ancestor of at least the early 1700 Glisson’s in North Carolina and not Francis. Or even,
Dennis Glisson of Barbados, and formerly from Ireland?)

The following Glissons are listed
below:The records are either pre-1730
or if after 1730 they obviously was born

before 1700?Some came to America and some listed in
records but may never have come to America.

Oldest entryAge

James Glisson 1637-1638adult in 1637 in VA?
May not have come to the Colonies, maybe only business interest but stayed in
London, England

Henry Glisson1652adult in 1652 in VAMay not have come to the Colonies, maybe
only business interest but stayed in Bristol, England

Francis Glisson (Francis Glissow) (Francis Glifton) 1654 (1652-1659)adult in 1654 in VAmay have been Francis Butler Lisson, not a Glisson

Cole to Edward Southwell, Bristol Jan 258 1689/90.Hope to be able to take a holiday for 2 or 3
weeks when there is not much business in the port which he believes will be
about Lady Day after the Spanish have been discharged and before the arrival of
the ships from Virginia.

47r-47v-48v

Cole to Robert Southwell,
Bristol September 20, 1691.Very busy at the port.Today a ship arrived from Virginia and three from the island

Plantations.

57r-57v-58v

Cole to Sir Robert Southwell,
Bristol Jan 6, 1691/2.Pleads on behalf of Mr. Glisson who is applying for a post in the
customs service.Mrday, who acts for security of
Mr. Glisson, is a trader in tobacco, but not as a merchant, more an ingrossor, the merchants bring in the tobacco and pay his
duties on it before Mr. Day buys it off them.

(unknown who Mr. Glisson is
but probably never left England and probably descendant of Israel Gleson of Bristol, Goucester
England who was son of Walter Glisson & Joan Cooke and grandson of Thomas
Glisson of Suffolk, England)

page 72- excerpt. {Llbs of
tobacco for the hire of his boat.At a court held January 17 1652, “In ye cause of difference between Moyses Linton planter and Ffrancis
Emperor gentleman” …It is ordered, Ffrancis Emperor
or his assigness at ye next arrival of English Shippings here that .}

(my notes:this was an excerpt from above book, it did
not show how Henry Glisson was connected to this excerpt but index did list
that he was listed on same page.I have
not found the exact listing for Henry yet but I am working on obtaining
it.Francis Emperor was born abt 1628 and died in Lower Norfolk county Virginia abt 1662 and he was a tobacco merchant of Dutch descent,
Moses Linton born abt 1625 died 1676 in Norfolk Co.
VA.Lower Norfolk Co. VA was an original
county in Virginia later broken into smaller counties.) (Also note: this cannot
be Henry Glisson that some researchers think is the father of the below Francis
Glisson.That Henry never left England
and probably was not the father of Francis Glisson below anyway.This Henry Glisson is probably Henry Glisson
son of William Glisson of Bristol England and grandson of Israel Glisson , g grandson of of Walter
Glisson & Joan Cooke and gg grandson of Thomas
Glisson of Suffolk, England.

page 97- I have not located this
page yet for Oliver Glisson.This may
have been much later dates.

Migration from England
to North America began from England's east and south. Migration from Scotland didn't really
begin till the 18th C. The sea journeys could be perilous. Conditions
on the other side were often harsh and mortality was high, especially in
Virginia. Passenger lists give few clues to origins.

From 1629 to 1775 at least 4 large migrations can be
identified (Fischer 1989 p 6):

An exodus of Puritans from the east of England to
Massachusetts 1629-40—the 'eleven years' tyranny of Charles I and
Archbishop Laud

The migration of a small Royalist elite and large numbers of
indentured servants from the south of England to Virginia c 1642-75. The peak was in 'the 1650s, when perhaps as many as 7,200
individuals, many of them servants, went each year from England and Wales to
the American colonies' (Sacks 1991 ch 9). 'According to some estimates, about 40 percent of those who arrived
in these regions died during their terms, many in the first year' (Sacks 1991 ch 8).

A movement from the north midlands of England and
Wales to the Delaware Valley c 1675-1725

A flow from the borders of England and Scotland and
from northern Ireland to the Appalachian backcountry
mostly during 1718-75.

Voluntary emigration

'Indentured servitude allowed people to travel to North
America or the West Indies without paying for their passage or by paying only a
part. As a result they became bond servants for a period of years, usually through
an agent who arranged for their passage. The practice of indentured
servitude was well established by the seventeenth century and lasted until 1785.
In addition to their passage, indentured servants received their keep and
sometimes a reward when the period of the bond expired. The period of
service was usually four years but could be longer if the servant was
less than 18 years of age' (http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/
NR/rdonlyres/685AFA68-6D3E-4F73-A9D6-FAC05B94C5F8/0/emigration.PDF Mar 05).

Virginia

Virginia was different (as were other colonies in the
Chesapeake, such as Maryland and, later, the settlements on Albemarle Sound,
which were the beginnings of North Carolina). Virginia developed a
one-crop economy: tobacco, the production of which required many hands.
The wealthy and well-connected of the colony acquired large acreages, and they
imported thousands of indentured servants, mostly young men between
the ages of 15 and 24, to work the farms. English servants composed at least
75% of the 120,000 emigrants to the Chesapeake during the 17th C, most
were illiterate. Women constituted only about 10 to 20% of the
servants. The Chesapeake area had few towns, few churches, and virtually no
schools. Most housing consisted of windowless huts built of green lumber,
measuring about 16 by 20 feet, with dirt floors. The climate was hazardous, and
the mortality rate disastrous, largely due to typhoid,
malaria, and dysentery. The colony survived, but normal family
structures almost disappeared. More than 75% of children lost at least
one parent before reaching the age of 18, and grandparents were virtually
unknown. Lacking the influence of town and church authorities, and living in
great poverty and ignorance along the creeks and rivers that carried tobacco to
the Chesapeake ports, the transplanted Englishmen usually lost most of the
civilization which they had brought from home within a generation. Records
of births, deaths, and marriages were not maintained, diaries not
kept, and histories not written, so that present-day historians and
genealogists have a very difficult time learning and proving anything about the
people who lived there (Fischer 1989 pp 207ff).

x. Jane 1655

In Oct 1655 William Thomas of Northumberland Co, Virginia,
received 200 acres for transporting indentured servants John Gibbins, ElizabethGlissen, Joan an Irish woman and Jane Brockett (Nugent
1934- p 325). Jane was probably b c 1631-40, possibly a
daughter of John and Mary, baptised
Dorking, Surrey 1628 (IGI). Alternatively she may have been the
daughter of Mathewe and
Alice, baptised 1640 in Mareham
Le Fen, Lincs (IGI).(my notes; since Elizabeth
Glisson was an indentured servant and she came a year after Francis Glisson I
doubt she was his wife like some Glisson genealogist suggest.Unknown as to who she was.)

Ref:Wills of Westmoreland Co.1654-1800 by Augusta B. Fothergill-

Lisson, Francis Butler, written 11 Feb 1697-98 recorded 23
Feb 1697-98.Buried near my father &
mother at Appomatox,mentions cousin Nathaniel Pope, godson Lewis Pope son of Nathaniel,
cousin Lewis Nicholas, children of my friend Law Washington residue of estate
and he be exr.(note:this may of been Francis Glisson above but
probably not.Several people named
Gleason used Leason, Gleeson used Leeson etc. in the
US.So maybe Glisson was written Lisson in some areas.If so Law Washington in will was grandfather of George Washington.This estate was the exact piece of land that
George Washington was born on Mt. Vernon. I have records to prove that.)

(my
notes:after further research above
Francis Butler Lisson was son of Daniel Lisson.

Ref: NY GenWeb Putnam County, NY,
History of Putnam County Chapter XXV—town of Philipstown,
village of Cold Spring—

William
D. Garrison, one of the most prominent representatives of the Garrison family,
so long identified with the life and growth of Putnam county,
and the present well known manager of the Grand Union Hotel, in New York city,
is descended from Garret Gerretsen, who came to
Staten Island in the “Gilded Beaver” in 1660.Of this original settler little is known except that he was an honest
and God fearing man.This is clearly
shown by a certificate, written in the Dutch language, and now in the
possession of Mr. Hartman Van Wagenen, South Bergen,
N.J. of which the following is a correct translation.

“We Bergomasters,
Schehens, and councilors of city of Wagennin, Declare: by these presents, that there appeared
before us, HendrickGlissen and JordizSparers citizens of this
city, at the request of GerretGerretson
and Anna Hermansse, his wife.They have testified and certified, as they do
by these presents, that they have good knowledge of the above named GerretGeretsen and Anna Hermansse, his wife, as to their life and conversation, and
that they have always been considered and esteemed as pious and honest people,
and that no complaint of any evil or disorderly conduct has ever reached their
ears, on the contrary, they have always led quiet, pious and honest lives, as
it becomes pious and honest persons.They especially testify that they govern their family well, and bring up
their children in the fear of God, and in all modesty and respectability.As the above named persons have resolved to
remove and proceed to the New Netherlands in order to find a greater
convenience, they give this attestation, grounded on their knowledge of them,
having known them intimately, and having been in continual intercourse with
them for many years, living in the same neighborhood.“In testimony of the truth we, the Bergomasters of the city have caused the secret seal of the
city to be imprinted on this paper.“Done at Wagennin 27th
November 1660.“By
the ordinance of the same.

(several more pages about family of William D.Garrison.) (at first
I thought this was in US but city of Wagennin may
have been in the Netherlands and this letter was written for GerretGeretsen’s arrival in the
US, New Netherlands or New York and HendrickGlissen may never have come to America.) (at any rate that would put a Glissen
family in the Netherlands that would justify that some researchers have thought
the Glisson family may be Dutch also)
